NYC Mayor Wants Mail-in Policy for Marijuana Fines

Mayor de Blasio wants to allow people to pay fines by mail. The convenience would be similar to a system already in place for drivers who can pay parking tickets by mail.

“That’s a choice that the individual citizen would make: If they got a summons, they could mail in and respond to a summons and pay a fine, but they would be accepting that they were guilty of the offense in question. If they wanted to fight it, of course, they’d have to go to the court to fight it if they disagreed with the reason for the ¬summons.” de Blasio said at City Hall.
